# Cloud Contacts vs Contacts Sync

The clearest difference is update cadence: Cloud Contacts at every 5 days against Contacts Sync's every 6 weeks. Contacts Sync's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Contacts sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Contacts Sync sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Contacts Sync holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contacts Sync has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cloud Contacts ships an update every 5 days, Contacts Sync every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
